There had been a tiny handful of blacks in Steve's troops, but with the segregation of the rest of the Army, every one of the 107ths coloured troops stood out.

'Just so happens'. Right. Sure. "The rest of your need to suit up. Privates, all of you." He glared at Palmer. "I'm looking at you, pretty boy. There's only a handful of officers in the 107th and they're all Commandos."
